I have a BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD in my START_PRINT macro but it never actually loads the bed mesh

[fernplant]

Very confused why this command seems to get ignored. Any ideas whats going on?

Relevant macro section:

    SET_GCODE_OFFSET Z=0.0  ; reset the G-Code Z offset (adjust Z offset if needed)
    RESPOND MSG="Homing all axes"
    G28                     ; home the printer
    G90                     ; use absolute coordinates
    SET_SKEW CLEAR=1        ; reset skew profile if loaded

    RESPOND MSG="Heating bed"
    M140 S{bed_temp}        ; start bed heating

    RESPOND MSG="Load existing bed mesh"
    BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD="auto"
    # auto leveling, if no mesh loaded or force_leveling was set
    {%if (not printer['bed_mesh'].profile_name) or force_leveling %}
        RESPOND MSG="No mesh loaded or force_leveling flag set"
        AUTO_BED_LEVEL BED_TEMP={bed_temp} EXTRUDER_TEMP={extruder_temp}
    {% endif %}

    G1 Z10 F1800            ; move the nozzle near the bed

I have found that if no bed mesh is loaded, the macro will not load the mesh specified. But, if a separate mesh is already loaded, the macro does load the specified mesh. Weird. This is only an issue after first power on but still somewhat annoying
